Is there any way to tell if this has actually been released, and is not  
just a draft copy?  I don't see any mention of it anywhere else on the  
FCC's site, or on any other site for that matter.

Rob (et al) -


Yes, this is an official release.  Look on the 2nd page, where it says
"Adopted October 04, 2006, released October 10, 2006", then on page 33,
section VI, where it says that the rulings will be effective 30 days
after publication in the Federal Register. I don't know if that part has
happened yet, or not, but  if not, it will be very soon.  In any case,
30 days from the date of publication you can begin using the expanded
bands and modes.


On a related issue, I cannot help but wonder if the delay in in the
release of the new Elecraft amplifiers (both the 800 and the 1500 watt
version)  was due in part to Eric and Wayne wanting to be able to offer
them without the extra parts and cost involved with producing products
that met the "old" certification rules.

At the beginning of the document it says:

REPORT  AND  ORDER
Adopted:  October  4,  2006  Released:  October  10,  2006
By  the  Commission:

I'm pretty sure "adopted" means exactly that.

I guess the remaining question is when was it (or will it be)  
published in the Federal Register.  It becomes effective 30 days  
after that happens.

I wonder what the effect of not allowing amplification between 26 and  
28 MHz will have on 10 meter use.  It would take a heck of a Q to  
reject 27.999 and pass 28.001.  Maybe a high-speed frequency counter  
could be used but there goes QSK.

Should appear in the Federal Register in 3 or 4 days, so it'll be
effective mid-November

I believe it's mentioned on the American Radio Relay League Site
